That's a good time. I managed 14.1s with 330hp. 13.7s is the M3 1/4 mile but more like 14.0s in reality.

FI stands for forced induction which translates to a super charger (SC) or turbo. swproturbo has mods that are basically bolt onto the car changing the air flow a bit but still pretty much naturally aspirated (NA).
